<center>'''English''' | [[IP_Filter-de|Deutsch]]</center>

== Description ==

The [[IP]] Filter blocks traffic from/to IPs and ranges of [[IP]]s with our [[client]]. This means that those [[IP]]s which get blocked will not be able neither to upload to us nor to download from us.

This filter is read from [[ipfilter.dat_file|''~/.aMule/ipfilter.dat'']] which is a file which's contents describes the valid and blocked [[IP]] ranges.

== [[ipfilter.dat file]] ==

The information and details about the [[ipfilter.dat file]] can be found [[ipfilter.dat file|here]].

== Using the [[IP]] Filter in [[aMule]] ==

The ''Access level'' of the [[IP]] filter is selected in [[aMule]] through "Preferences" -> "Security" -> "IP Filtering" -> "Filtering level" (in [[aMule]] versions up to 2.0.0-rc8 it is under "Server", instead of "Security").

'''NOTE:''' [[aMule]]'s ''ipfilter.dat'' file is 100% compatible with [[eMule]]'s.

== Hard coded [[IP]] filter in [[aMule]] ==

[[aMule]] has a range of [[IP]]s which it filters by default following the [http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3330.txt RFC 3330] document. This ranges are:

<pre>
Address Block Present Use Reference
----------------------------------------------------------------------
"0.0.0.0/8", // "This" Network [RFC1700, page 4]
"10.0.0.0/8", // Private-Use Networks [RFC1918]
"14.0.0.0/8", // Public-Data Networks [RFC1700, page 181]
"24.0.0.0/8", // Cable Television Networks --
"39.0.0.0/8", // Reserved but subject
// to allocation [RFC1797]
"127.0.0.0/8", // Loopback [RFC1700, page 5]
"128.0.0.0/16", // Reserved but subject
// to allocation --
"169.254.0.0/16", // Link Local --
"172.16.0.0/12", // Private-Use Networks [RFC1918]
"191.255.0.0/16", // Reserved but subject

"192.0.0.0/24", // Reserved but subject
// to allocation --
"192.0.2.0/24", // Test-Net
"192.88.99.0/24", // 6to4 Relay Anycast [RFC3068]
"192.168.0.0/16", // Private-Use Networks [RFC1918]
"198.18.0.0/15", // Network Interconnect
// Device Benchmark Testing [RFC2544]
"223.255.255.0/24",// Reserved but subject
// to allocation --
"224.0.0.0/4", // Multicast [RFC3171]
"240.0.0.0/4" // Reserved for Future Use [RFC1700, page 4]
</pre>

However, you can un-filter this range of [http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc791.html IP]s by unchecking "Preferences"->"Security"->"IP-filtering"->"Always filter bad IPs" (on [[aMule]] versions up to 2.0.0-rc8, this option can be found in "Preferences"->"Server"->"Always filter bad IPs").
